An average movie

I wasn't sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a very nice cast, I was really eager to check it out. Eventually, after watching 'Flashbacks of a fool' just recently, it was yet another half-baked drama with half of the duration dealing with the past of the main character. As a result, you had two separate stories which didn't really fit well together at all and it was hard to believe that Blake Lively's character would grow up to be Robin Wright's character. Still, like 'Flashbacks...', the whole thing had really some potential. I mean, it was a pleasure to have such a stellar cast (Robin Wright, Alan Arkin, Winona Ryder, Maria Bello, Keanu Reeves, Blake Lively, Julianne Moore, Monica Bellucci) even though, with such a short running time, there was hardly enough space to develop all these characters which was too bad. Eventually, among them, Robin Wright really stood out, which was even more impressive since I didn’t really care for her character. I mean, I think there was there, somewhere, a really good movie, but it was lost between the different timelines, characters and sub-plots. Anyway, to conclude, even though it was rather disappointing, I still think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
